9. Self-Care Is Not Just a Bath Bomb

Do you equate self-care with face masks and wine nights? In this episode, we break down the real meaning of self-care—and spoiler alert—it’s not always cute or Instagram-worthy. From setting boundaries and saying "no" without guilt, to recognizing rest as productive, we're diving into the deeper, sustainable habits that actually support your mental health.

We explore why glamorized self-care can sometimes feel like a band-aid, and how redefining it helps you prevent burnout, feel more connected, and create space for healing. Whether you're a therapist, a parent, or just tired of the hustle culture—this one’s for you.

 

Topics include:

• What self-care actually looks like in everyday life

• Why boundaries are a form of self-respect

• Letting go of "performative rest"

• Unlearning the guilt around putting yourself first
  

✨Tune in, reflect, and ask yourself—what does real self-care look like for you?
